Syncing Domain Time with all Clients.
Hello,
Just trying to find the simplest way to sync our 2008 DC time with all clients in the domain. We have some XP, Vista...but mainly Win7.
Thank you,
Tom

Hello,
By default, domain computers sync time with the PDC Emulator so please make sure that it is available.
I recommend making your PDC Emulator sync time with a reliable NTP server.

Hello,
as long as all domain machines use the domain DNS server only on the NIC and port 123 UDP is open on all machines you have nothing to do. The PDCEmulator FSMO DC should be synced to another time source.
All DCs sync with the PDCEmulator DC and the rest of the domain machines sync with an available DC.
